Reuben Margolin creates kinetic sculptures inspired by nature and math, he shared this video on Youtube!
A caterpillar with nine electric motors climbs a woodpile!
This is the first caterpillar I’ve made that can tackle variably curved terrain. Inside the caterpillar is a micro-controller holding a file with a quarter million angles. As the motors sequentially follow these angles, the caterpillar traverses the woodpile.
The woodpile is not as random as it looks, but follows a predetermined polynomial spline within bounds of certain convex and concave curvatures. It is made of scrap wood and took about week to make.
